Ted Cruz was asked again about joining the Supreme Court. Here’s his answer

Though he expressed reverence for the institution, Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told The Hill Wednesday that he is not looking to become the next Supreme Court pick.

“As important as the court is, and I think it’s incredibly important, a principled federal judge stays out of political and policy fights, doesn’t engage, simply follows the law. If I were ever a judge, that’s what I’d do. I don’t want to stay out of political and policy fights. I want to be right in the middle of them. The Senate is the battleground for just about every big policy fight we’ve got right now,” Cruz said.
